Benefits of Certification

Independent, third-party certification of organic food systems is the foundation of domestic and international organic food trade. Our job at QAI is to verify that organic integrity is maintained.

The QAI certification program is designed to certify every step of the organic chain —from the land on which the product is grown, to the producers growing the product, to the post-harvest facilities preparing the product, to the processing and handling facilities transforming the product. QAI certifies at the following levels:

Certification Process

Your QAI project manager guides you through the organic certification process, which involves five basic steps, whether you produce items at the beginning, middle or the end of the supply chain.

Step 1: Application — We ask you to provide details about your organic operation that enable us to understand the scope of your operation, the procedures you follow and the products that your company processes, labels, handles and/or trades.

Step 4: Resolution and Notification — You have an opportunity to resolve any items during the inspection and technical review that may be unclear or don’t comply with the regulations.

Step 5: Certification and Ongoing Compliance — Once you’ve successfully completed the process, you are certified to the applicable standard. You receive a numbered certificate and can use the QAI Organically Certified mark of excellence on your compliant organic products.
